    De-dollarisation is rapidly underway by the major players worldwide...

    It's a wonder then that the price of the dollar is appreciating.

    Bringing all those captured Nazi scientists back to America after WW2 ended. Meant they could build a mighty & globally oppressive army to pursue their strategic economic interests. This undoubtedly fueled the global spread of their corporate cancers. Thankfully, like all empires, the United States is now a dying empire.

    No such thing as conventional warfare any more.

    Teslamotors are the main driver of electric cars they aren't the same as GM and the rest of corporate america and it too late for the oil industry to stop them now

    also the petro dollar link is still very important to the US economy

    Tesla isn't the only electric car, though. The Nissan Leaf, The Chevrolet Volt and Spark, Ford C-Max. BMW and Audi are coming into the fold. The Kia Optima was designed and is partly manufacturerd in the US and also has an electric option. GM are manufacturing electric cars too.

    The horse has bolted at this point. It's about adapting and competing.

    When John McCain was running for President in 2008, he was proposing a huge reward scheme for developing a fast charging and long lasting battery.

    Suggesting that these companies rely on oil, is a bit belittling. They are huge conglomorates. They can adapt and sell what's on demand. Whether that's oil or electricity. Today people are talking about Apple buying Tesla...the biggest companies can easily swallow the up and comers. If they want. Or just create their own product.

    Exxon mobile and Shell are no dummies!

    All he need is an inkjet and people to believe.."I owe trillions to my creditors and print my own money to make ends meet"..people would grab a straitjacket and call me mad, but if it's a country, everyone nods and goes "Grand, fire ahead".

    all these electric cars only exist because of the Tesla roadster

    soon we will see the cars that get built because of the model S

    this is what Tesla wanted, they are slowly changing the industry

    What about the Toyota Prius?

    Yes it was ugly but it sold very well and as far as I know, was the first mass produced hybrid car...

    Jaysus, maybe Apple should buy them. People think Apple invented the mouse, the tablet and Operating System with a User Interface. In 20 years time, if they buy Tesla, people will say Apple invented the electric car...

    the electric car is older than Tesla, its not a new idea

    I have been watching this since before the T-zero and I thought that the first good electric cars would come from Japan or Germany because they both have large car industries but no oil

    but I was wrong the first good electric cars came from America like most great innovations and thats another reason for american prosperity
